ThisWay Global proposes 73MW AI and HPC data center in Bryan

What changed after the earlier project’s bankruptcy?

RELLIS Campus Data and Research Center LLC, the earlier project company, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in the Southern District of Texas on Nov. 5, 2025, according to a bankruptcy case listing. ThisWay’s announcement says it closed on the court-approved purchase of project assets on Sept. 30, 2026. KBTX also reported the closing.

The materials available do not include the underlying sale order or closing documents, so they do not establish precisely which assets or agreements transferred. The reported purchase is a step in the project’s ownership history, not evidence that the planned center is operating or that construction has resumed.

The bankruptcy listing identifies a Chapter 11 case. The available information does not establish that the case was converted to Chapter 7 or another chapter. References to converting the RELLIS project to AI and high-performance computing use concern the proposed purpose of the site, not a reported change in the bankruptcy case’s chapter.

In August, Brazos County commissioners approved transferring the project’s tax-abatement agreement to ThisWay, KBTX reported. That approval concerns local tax treatment; it is not a construction permit or confirmation that the facility is being built. ThisWay says it has begun remobilizing the project, but the reporting does not provide a construction schedule or a date when any phase would open.

What does the 73MW plan establish?

ThisWay identifies 73MW as the planned capacity of RACC. That is a project specification announced by the company, not independent confirmation of installed capacity or available electricity. The reporting does not establish the utility arrangements, approvals or construction needed to support the proposed load.

KBTX separately reported that ThisWay plans a 73MW substation. The matching figures should not be treated as interchangeable: the available reporting does not establish whether the planned substation rating and the center’s stated capacity describe the same part of the project, or how the substation would connect to a power supply.

The company’s project description includes closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling and its Amalgamy.ai orchestration software. These are proposed features, not independently demonstrated operating systems. The reporting does not verify the cooling design’s performance or water requirements, or provide an independent assessment of the software.

The stated users are research, public-sector and industry organizations, but the available reports do not identify committed customers or computing services already on offer. Nor do they establish hiring numbers or the research benefits the facility might produce. Those remain aims or project descriptions rather than verified outcomes.

Does an earlier state filing show the site is built?

A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing for an earlier RELLIS project lists a two-story shell of 45,875 square feet, an estimated cost of $10 million and a projected completion date of Dec. 31, 2024. The state filing records the project as registered and says the interior buildout would need a separate permit.

Those entries document a filed plan, not proof that the shell was completed. The filing also does not establish what, if any, part of that earlier project could be used for RACC. Its projected 2024 completion date is not a construction schedule for ThisWay’s new proposal.

The unresolved details include the condition and possible use of the earlier shell, remaining approvals, engineering and financing, utility arrangements, construction timing and customer agreements. Until those details are established, the 73MW figure describes what ThisWay plans—not capacity shown to be built or serving users.
